What is your Favorite Dive Site in Pensacola-Panama City

[Rich Keller]

The only dives I've done out of PCB were the 3-5's so they win by default...but I think they would likely win against most other options as well

I know nothing about the area. What and where are the 3-5s?

I think they are around 40 miles off the coast of PCB, they were named 3-5's because they used to take 3-5 hours to get to. They were natural limestone relief's at ~150' but I don't know the coords, I was just along for the ride.

The "3 5's" sound like the Timberholes. Same thing?

Not Quite.. both are near the shelf (the big drop off), and they are similar, but the timber holes are a bit shallower...and personal opinion, the timber holes have more life... but both are nice.

I enjoyed the Red Sea Tug and the Jetty.

The 3-5s are named because they are 3-5 fathoms of relief, at least that was how I heard it and it lines up with my observations as well. Back in the day they were also called the "Whoopie Grounds"
